..OUR GOODS..
?T is with a certain decree of pardonable pride, as the pioneers in this line of business, thnt we present to our friends, ihe
public, this our latest catalo^^ue, combining- illustrations and descriptions of all the various products of our factory into one book.
At a time when sheet metal worU was little used for building- purposes, except in a very crude way,
we [oresaw its advantiig-es and possibilities, und in 1884 we started the first factory in Canada for
tiie manufacture of this class of material.
From Uie very small be^Miming- of mjikhig; only one design of metal shin^des, the same people who started the
business, still retain the management, and have grown up \vith it, step by step, to its present condition. In this way
we tliorou^lilv understand all the requirements, and every detail in connection with the business, so that our customers
■et the benefit, not only of our vast experience g-ained durin^r the past sixteen years, but a personal supervision ot
every branch of the work.
As the leaders we have always kept leadin-, and at the present time we have the largest, most approved, and best
equipped factory in Canada, for the production of architectural sheet metal goods; our output amomulni: to more than thai
of all the other factories in the Dominion combined.
We started out with the fixed determination to manufacture only such yoods as we knew would !<ive satisfaction, for we were, and
are, alive to the fact that every order we fill is an advertisement either for or aj^ainst us.
Our -oods are now ^^•idely distributed from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and have won flatterin- testimonials from everyone who has
used them. They are as they always have been— the standard of quality, durability and construction, and are the medium by which
all Others are judged, in proof of ^vhich it is only necessary to point out that all others who have come after us have attempted to copy
our original designs, as nearly as they dared. Imitation is the sincerest kind of flattery, and shows conclusively that ours were considered
the best, for people do not, as a rule, copy a poor article.
Irrespective of the competition of low-priced i^oods, we have steadfastly maintained the same standard of excellence for our
goods, so that our customers are assured of getting the best obtainable, and always just as represented.
Carrying- immense stocks as we do, combined with a lar-e and experienced staff, wo are enabled to -ivc our customers prompt
shipment; much quicker than can be obtained anywhere else.
We are always pleased to g-lve our patrons the benefit of our experience by cheerfully and frankly furnishln<,^ them with an,v information
they desire. All communications will be fully and promptly answered.

..THE USE OF SHEET METAL..
]i;i:T METAL lor binlding^ purposes, thoui^^li of comparatively recent origin in a practical iievse, has p<tssed its initial stages, and, as
jikiw sokl in its present perfect^^d form, possesses so n-ianj- advantages over other materials as to make its tise indispensable.
T\sciu\' \ear-s of testini^", often under most trying conditions, and in the face of much ad\'erse criticism, has demonstrated its
irui? worth. Old prt?jiidices that existed against the use of anything, .simply because it was not used htmdreds of j'ears ugfo, have
heen forced to the v\al]. In building construction, as indeed in anj'thitig else, we have to adapt ourselves to circumstances, and do
hand- The mas-sive stone and brick construction necessary In large buildings has been

' - I rim li:n i_- to g]^'t' place to the metal. The latest example oi the latter feature of metal is the completion hy us in the '* Temple'* building,
in lhi> cily. o^ our cofUracl, whereby all the doors^ Jams, casings, Avindow trim, dado and base are entirely co\'ered with copper-plated steel, making a
most elK-cti\e. hauLlsome and durable linish, and rendering the building unquestionably the most thoroughly fire-proof structure in Canada, if not in America.
The "^Tv^niple" hviUding is a huge nu^dern len-siorey office building, containing nearly five hundred doors and over one thousand windows. About
845. oDu \\orlh ol <>w\- interior art metal work is used in this building alone, and Dr. Oronhyatekha, the S. C. R. of the Independent Order of Foresters
(ihe owHL-rs). writes us that they are thoroughly satisfied with our "work; that they will get a material reduction in their insurnnce by its use^ and that
lie consid^r^ our door-^ and li'im an absohite necessity in e\ery fire-proof buildiiig.
Wi.' have aiu-mpied in this catalogue to set out some o{ the advantages and uses to which sheet metal may be put. but we could not possibly, in
!lic space, cover ue.trly all the various uses to which it is adapted. This is governed altogether by the circumstances in connection with each particular case.
IVaclically anything Ihat can be done in wood, stone or brick, can be duplicated in nictal without losing any of the character or effect of the
work, Its .scope is almost unlimited ; its ad\anlages manifold.
We arc prepared to luniish quotations promptly tor any description of metal work, made to any detail or :=ihape desired, and as we have had
ample experience in all branches of the work A\e can guarantee lo give satisfaction.
Write us lully Jusl what is wanted, giving as much information as possible. All communications will be promptlv and courteouslv answered.

The Roof.
As a roof for your building Is indispensable, let it be ;. j,'Ood one. No p;irt of the buiklin^ is subject to the Sixmc amount of exposure, and there
is no part independent of its protection. Do not slight the roof because plain miilerial is the most convenient; there is rc;.lly no economy
in doint,-- so. It is outside to be sure, hut not easily hidden. Like the chimney, it is a necessitj' ; as we cannot iijnore il, we mu^t try and
make it as a part of the buildin-, attractive. No money .spent on a house will add more to its sellin- vnkie ihan that expended in laMe and
material on the roof as the roof is the first thin- that a person sees, und the first impressions are the hardest lo overcome.
A poor roof is expensive at any price, even if it were {riven away, for ihe damai^c thai mi-ht result from its use would generallv be .sntliL-lent
to purchase twenty ^ood rooi"s.
A good roof must be: first, rain-proof; .second, fire-proof; tlilrd, ll-ht in' weiyhl ; fourth, durable; fifth. orn;imenUd ; .sixlh, not liable
to gei out of order, Vou can have such a roof by usin^^ our yoods, at a cost within the reach of all, even for ihe cheapest kind of buildins.^'.
A Square.
1
THI'. lerm "a square'" mean-s one hundred square feet. A .space ten by ten feet constitutes a square. To Wm] ihc «uimber of squares in a
multiply the ]en^th of the roof by the len-^th o( the rafter over all, and divide by one hundred ; the result will be the nvinibcr w>f squares. On
cottaffe shaped or hipped roofs, take the ten^'th half w;iy up the rafter, and multiply the distance h\ t}ie len^nli of (he rafter, wlik-li will yive
the area of the space. On irreg-ular shapes, or roofs much cut up b> valleys or hips, some .-ilKnvance should always be made to cover the
waste ; usually about fn e per cent. Is ample. For siding, take the total distance around the luiildiu,..-, multiply it by ihe liei-hl, and it there are
any gables, add their area and then deduct for any doors or windows. Where there are a threat number of openin{,'s, or where the opcnitiiis arc small.
the full amount should not be deducted.
For ceilinf/s, add to the size each way the distance the cornice, [wher^- such is used), \sill come down on the wall and nudliplv the total
length so obtained by the total width ; the result ull! be tlie number of squares. On irret,rLihir shaped ccilin-s, or ceilings cut up wilh openinj,'.s or
offsets, some allowance should be made for waste, over and above the actual space to be covered. Where ceihn- plates are cut on the job we always
figure that all pieces will be worked in.
EXAHPLES.
I— Take a roof 80 feet !o^<,^ with rafters 30 feet each side, or 60 feet over all ; Ho' >: 60' =4,800 sqiiare feet = 48 squares.
2— To find the area of one side of a roof 33 feet alont,' the cave and running,' up to a point at the top, the tenj^th of the rafter beioij 20 feel,
take the width of the roof half way up the rafter, which would be 16/, feet, mulliply that by the len^nh of the rafter (20 feet), and we ^^et 3^0 square
feet, or, allowing for the waste, say 3;.^ squares of material to cover it.'
3— To cover a ceiling 20x30 feet, u.siny: No. 303 cove with \o. 922 foot mouldin-, (cove, g inches drop; mouldin-, 3 inclies),
22'x32' = 704 square feet = 7^J^ squares.
A square of metallic shingles, tiles, siding plates, or ceilinj:^, as sold by us, will cover too square feet when laid, less any waste in cultint,- or fittin<r.
With " Pres.sed Double Cap," "Ready Roll Cap," and "V Crimped" roofings, it will also be found that our square as sold' will cover 100
square feet, less any waste.
On account of the difference made in lapping corrugated iron, ii is all sold by the too square feet, with no allowance whatever for laps.

Saving in Insurance.
METAL covering is highly recommended by the Insurance Companies, as it furnishes no food for the flames, neither will it crack nor fall
off by the action of heat or water, but will keep its plaCe as lony- as there is anylhinjr left to sustai.i it. Its application to a building
reduces the rate of insurance fully one-third as a rule, and in places poorly provided with fire apparatus, often considerably more. In
many .-^f the leadings cities and towns in the I'nited States and Canada, building-s covered with sheet metal are g-iven the same rating as
brick siniciures bv the Insurance Companies doing business ihere. notably the cities of Cincinnati and St. Louis.
This sa\ing in insurance alone will soon repay the cost of metal covering e\en for the cheapest kind o! structure, as will be seen by a
reference lo our book of testimonials, containing the experience of people who state that they are actually saving sufficient for that purpose by the
use of our ijt^ods.

Advantages over Wood 5hingles.
C\ OOD wood shing-les fire a thing" of the past. The machine-made shing-ies of to-day are a verj' poor substitute and not at all to be compared
-^ to the old shaved shing-les. The pre::;ent ^^hlng-les are cut from very inferior timber, and the wood fibre is so furred or thrown up in saAvinj;:

The best of wooden shing-les will shrink, leaving- crevices and Increasing a hundred-fold tho chances of leaks, besides only lasting a Feu" years as they
are at present being made.
Our Metal roofing- can be applied at least three to four times as quickly as wood shint^les, and only costs about the same when laid on
the building, besides looking; better and lasting' very much longer-
Again, no wooden shingle roof is fire-proof, which is a very important item when it is considered that by far the greater proportion of lirt:s
originate on the roof; so that, all things considered, it will be found that our metal roofing is the cheapest and best in the end. not to mentioci
the saving effected in insurance by its use.
Advantages over Slate.
IN the first place, the enormous weight of slate, about six hundred pounds per square, necessitates hea\'y and expensive root timbers to support
it, while metal roofing wilt not weigh one-sixth as much. Slate requires dressed, tongued, and grooved sheeting, while undressed cull lumber
will do for metal, so long as it is reasonably sound. In winter, when there is much variation in the temperature, and the moisture between
the slates freezes, they will crack and drop off. Slate canrtot resist heat in case of fire, but will spht and fall from the building, leaving
the wood exposed to the element.
Again, it is not possible to drive nails tightly enough to bind the slates together, through fear of breaking them ; thus they remain loose
enough to allow snow or rain to blow up under them, especially in the case of driving storms such as frequently occur. So long as the rain falls
vertically the water will flow from slate to slate and not leak, but if the storm is accompanied by wi^nd, slate will trequently leak, especially it the
roof has not a very steep pitch.
It is almost an impossibility to successfully repair a slate roof, without incurring a heavy expenditure.
Valleys in slate roofs are invariably made from similar material to that used in the construction of our roofing, and yet it not
only stands a great deal more wear than any other part of the roof, but lasts just as long.
Protection from Lightning.
SCIENTISTS agree that a building covered with sheet metal has the best protection against lightning that can be given it, as the large surface
of the metal scatters the electricity and renders it harmless.
Professor Mitchell says : ** It is impossible that a building covered with iron should be injured by lightning."
Professor John Wise says: ** My observation leads me to say that when metal roofs become ihe rule, injury to our buildings and their
contents by lightning will have passed away/'

Reasons Why some sheet Metal Goods can be Sold at a Less Price than others.

piMiiul more iIkui nthcrs. Since this is the case with the niw material, il must necessarily follow that goods made out of these metals
are subject lo the same difference, and ihal the lighter or thinner y:rades can he sold for less moniey than the hea\ier ones, by the square; also
\\\;i\ ^oi^kls nuidc Iroin Hk- poorer ^'r;idcs can he sold for Iltss money than those made (roti-i the better grades. This is altogether outside lyf the conslrnction

IVrson?* who arc noi ihorouj^hlv con\ersan( with ihese f^jood^ arc apl to think thai all metal shingles and siding are ihe same. This is a great
misiake, for, as we have shown, there can be just as much dillerence in ihem as in anything else.
While meiallic sMnf^les and siding plates are made in different grades, it does not at all foHow that all nianufacturers' grades are the same.

Where yheetm^ is used fewer and smaller roof supports are necessary for metal th:ui for any other form of roofiiiii". owin^ to the tact that
metal is only about one-third the weig^ht of wooden shin^le?s, and about one-sixth that of ylate ; consequently, there iy considerable savini,- of timber

Packages.
UR metallic shingles, siding and ceiling plates are all securely packed in substantial wooden crates or boxes, so that they cannot fail to reach
ihcir deslination in i:;ood order and condition.
All packa^'-e^ are branded with our name and registered trade mark.
Painting.
ALL oLir painled ^oods for exterior use havG a thorough coating on both sides of the celebrated '* SherM'in-WiUiams " magnetic oxide of iron
pjiint, gnnniLl \n pure linseed oil, and ^>p^cially prepared for us for metal work. It is of a rich dark reddish brown color, is absolutely pure,
and contains nothhig but the very best and most expensive ingredients obtainable for the protection of exposed metal work. All metal
work should be repainted after being put on. and this may be done In any shade desired, but only certain kinds of paint are Suitable
for metal for the foundation coat, so that it is absolutely imperative that the coating first put on next the metal, should be some
preparation that will protect it. Ordinary lead paints may be put on over the oxide, but should never be used for a first coat
on metal.
For this reason, in order to ensure the proper protection to our exterior goods, we only paint them in the one shade, of reddish brown, for
this is the only color we can ^et of this special p^eservati^■e, which enables us to be sure that the coating will stand for any length of time. Goods
coated with lead or other light-colored paints are not suitable for outside use, though they can be produced at considerable less cost than
the coating' used by us.
Our interior ceiMng-.s and side-walls are all well painted before shipping-, receiving- a good priming coat on both sides of pure white Xinc, mixed
wiih pure linseed oil and turpentine, which protects the metal, and forms a foundation that adheres to it as a permanent basis for further decoration-
Lead paint or painl made from other li^^ht-colored pigments are no more suitable for inside than for outside metal work^ as a foundation coat.
The quality and nature of the paint used by manufacturers of sheet metal goods, is a very important factor that should not be under-estimated
or lightly considered bv intending purchasers, for the reason that this coating should preserve the metal from corrosion, not only on the outside
o( the material itself^ but also on the under side as well.
We use only the very purest and most expensive preservatives that our long experience in the metal business teaches us are the best;
our sole aim, irrespecti\'e of expense to ourselves, being to have our painted goods coated with somethings that is tough and pliable, that will not
scale or peel off, and that will be durable. This is what we are doing, and all we ask is, that this important matter be not lost sight of, but
that a comparison be made of our preservatives with those of other manufacturers ; when we feel sure that the result will fully bear out all our claims.
All painted roofuig and siding should recei\'e an extra coat of paint after being put on the buiiding to cover any marks or scratches received
i[i laying, and as there is no wear on the under side, a periodical coat ot paint, once every four or five years, will preserve them indefinitely.
With the view of encouraging our patrons to repaint our ^oods just as soon as they are laid, we send free of all charge with each shipment
of painted roofinj? and siding sufficient preservative in thick paste form to recoat the work. This paint should be mixed only with pure
boiled linseed oil and turpentine, in the proportion of about three-quarters oil to one-quarter turpentine. For every gallon of oil and turpentine use
about four pounds of the paste, thoroughly mixing the whole together, and witii this mixture paint the surface to be covered.

AK'IHR considerable t-xperimentiTiy- we have at last succeeded id perfecting what has been
toni^ looked for by tlie rooRiig trade^Aiz. : a really effective combination squeezing and
put^chln;^-- tool, as shown in Fis^. 5, lor u^e with 'M^ressed Double Cap" and "Ready
Roll Cap " Roofing"t^. By the use of this device (which \vc have fully covered by
letters patent), a workman can readily accomplish more than double the amount of work that he
possibly could by any other means, and with riuich less labor. This machine is -so constructed
ihaL the operator squeezes tog^elber and punches a standing'' seam by the one operation, without
chang;ing the position of either himself or the tool, nor can the punchinj^^ be possibly done until
the seam is effectually squeezed to^-'elher. '
The action of openinij;- the handles a certain distance, squeezes about ei^ht inches of the
seam at a time, which can be repeated as often as necessary to squeeze the distance between
the rivets; then when it is desired to punch, the same operation, only openauij the handles
wider, culs the piece out the proper size Lo suit the rivet. The punchino- device slides in a
long-itudinal bearing", bored through the head oC the too!, and the opening of the handles the
proper distance operates a to^i^He movement which works directly on the punch, bringing: it in a
straij,Hit line with the die, and exerting*- a powerful pressure with a direct motion, that will
effectually cut the piece clcrin out throuifh four thicknesses of twenty-six g^uge steel, with very
little power on the handles. The greatest pressure Is g-iven where it is most required, and at
a poiiil where the operator exerls the least power.
The mechanisn^ is so simple and positive that a boy can operate it. and there is nothing
to get out of order.
With each shipment of our '^Pres.^ed Double Cap" and *' Readv Roll Cap^^ Roofiai-
when so ordered, we send on loan this tool. In sendinjj this tool, however, we make it an
express condition, that it will only be used for putting on our ir^^ods, and that it will be returned
promptly, charges prepaid. If not actually returned within thirty days from date o« invoice,
(unless specially arrauK^ed for at time of sale), a rent of $kod per day wilt be charged for each

the ■* Empire" Shingles, Thi.s lock, u'hich ampW provider for contraction and
expansion cif the metal, is provided with -a concealed ijutter running the entire
depth of each shingle, and Is capable of carrying'- od ;iny water that inl^ht g-et
into the lock to the next course below, so that le;ikai,^c at the joints is an utter
impossibilit}-. Provision is also made, by means of this water g-iilter, for ventilation
and the escape of gases, etc.; consequently thore is no condensation of moisture
nor sweating of the metal on the under side.
This lock is the perfection of simplicity in construction, and the -^Empire '
is the only shingle having a combined hook=over lock and water gutter, which
is a very important feature, as it adds to the life of the roof very materially, preventing, as it does,
any possibility of corrosion from the under side.
The corrugations forming- the side lock and water o-utter on ont^ side, and the hook-over p:irl on the oth^r
side, in addition to the ribs at the top. and the heavy Ucsi-n on the bodv of the plate, so stilTen ihe^e shingles
that It »s impossible to injure the locks or squee;?e them out of shape, makin-- the most rig-id shin^We that is produced.

The shin-les are nailed to the sheetin- with about two. one-inch twelve-j^^augv, wire nails through the flan-e
on the rig^ht-hand side of each sheet, and the next .sheet hook^. over the nails and water gutter into the lock,

The construction and bold relief 01^ the ^^ Eureka" Diamond Tiles
wrll not admit of anylhing but the very finest of stock being- used in
iheir manufnclurc. The material being first heavily tinned, both in the
galvanized and painted llles. Is amply protected, in addition to the coal-
ing ot pairing or galvanizing, as the case may be; consequently thev
cannot f.ill !o be exceedingly durable. Any question as to this 'tinned
coahng ^.^u ihese tiles can be easily set at rest by scraping some of the
pami Irom their surface. The galvanized tiles do not require any paint-
ing to preserve the n^etal.
The painted tiles are thoroughlv coated on both sides with a
specially prepared terra cotta colored paint, mixed with pure linseed
oil and turpentine, and have every appearance of the best terra cotta
tiies. As there is no wear on the under side of the metal, a periodical
coat of paint on the outer surface will preserve them indefinitely.
'' Eureka'"' Diamond Tiles are light in weight, will not warp,
crack, nor drop off, besides being fire^proof, and can be laid by any-
one of ordinary intelligence, while ample provision is made for contrac-
tion and

A plain strip of iron, tin, or copper mav be used in starting the

H.nh xiylcs of V Crimped Roofing are so .simple in their construction
■.^«d application thai anyone ol ordinary intelligence can applv them ver>'
r.tr.dly. One hartdv man should turn the end lock^ and lay at
least from ten to twelve squares in a dav. the only tools required

of sheets are to be locked, in which case we send an end former, for
which we charge Si. 50. but if returned promptly, freight prepaid,
the full price charg^ed will be refunded.
One pound of nails (two-inch twelve-gauge) is more than sufficient
for laying a «;quare.
For barn roofs or ele\ ators we would recommend close sheeting; rough
culled lumber will do, so long as it is sound and will hold the nails firm.
V Crimped Roofing takes fifty lineal feet, and V Three Crimped
Roofing requires one hundred lineal feel, of triangular wood strips to
do a square. We can supply these strips when ordered at knvest prices.
The Painted Roofings are thoroughly coated on both sides with
our standard quality of magnetic oxide of iron paint, mixed with pure
linseed oil and turpentine. (See page 16, "Painting.")

The sheets have a plain flange on all four sides, which overlap each
other at the top and side. The overlapping flanges are the same width
as those that divide the stones on each sheet, so that the joints are not
noticeable, and every line of joint is crossed or broken. Thus all unsljjhtly
seams are entirely removed, imparting a character to the work and giving
it every appearance of solid stone.
The painted siding is thoroughly coated on both sides with our
maffnetic oxide of iron paint (a rich reddish brown color), mixed only
with pure Unseed oil and turpentine, which is the best preservative for
the metal for the first coat.
Splendid effect is obtained in palntinij
the .aiding after being laid by using paint
mixed the desired color, and while it is still
wet blowing on fine screened lake sand with
a small be!3ows, thereby making the sand
adhere to ihe painty and giving the work

calulo^ue are the standard yizes of sheets, and are \vhat ure generally used, hut we can i\M-[ii>h to order corruf^atcd sheet-^ ni;ide
from iiny hrand of iron, or in any size of sheets required, up to ten teet in lenj^th.
Corrugated iron may be applied />n sheeting of wood, or to iron or wood rafters and purlins without sheeting.
Our Galvanized Corrugated Iron is nuide (rom brit^ht, j^mooth, cold^rolied, t?vonly-coated y:iihani/od shells of Uie best qualilx'
made for workinj^-up purposes. Lower priced brands of galvanized iron, such as are ordinarily used for corruj*"atin*:^ purposes,
may be obtained for considerably less money, but, while they may he called galvanized iron, the}' arc of such a poor qualil) and
poorlv coated that it would pay better to use painted hlack iron. It" you arc p^iyin^'- for i^.^'alvanlzed iron oi any kitul, the quality
and coating is what should be carefully considered, for the gah'anized coatin^^ is what preserves the inetaK and if it is badly <.\o\-i^. or
of poor quality, then it is a protection in name only.
Our Painted Corrugated Iron is made from the finest of ^smooth, coki-rollod steel sheets. It is corrut^atcd first and then thorout,''hly
coated on both sides with our standard qnalit\- of magnetic oxide of iron paint, made up specially ior metal work, and mixed with pure linseed oil and
turpentine. This ensures a protection to the metal that, if replenished once every four or five years, will preserve it indcfmitely.
All our corru^^ated sheets are accurately squared all around before corrui^ating;, so that they are all of a unilorm size. The corrugations are
all pressed, one corrugation at a time, on the latent and most improved powerfully constructed machinery ; consequently they are all exactly alike and
uniform, and the sheets all being perfectly square, there cannot possibly be any variation, enablinji" a perfect job to he made at both the side and end laps,
without any cutting-, and keeping the corrugations in line from the eave to the ridge, or from the ground to the eavc as the case may he. The
advanta<^es of pressed corrugated sheets over those made on rolls are manifold, for by the latter method they are rushed throu^irh the rolls so rapidly
that it does not ^ive the machine time to set the corrugations, and therefore they are not utiiform in depth, as some sheets are harder and will spring
more than others so that the sheets cannot come out the same on the edges, and consequently will not fit nor keep the corrugations square and
in line.

Corrugated Iron without Sheeting
Fig- ii6,
SHOWS the application of Corrugated Iron without using any sheeting. By this cojistruction roui^di ballens, an inch ihick and s;iy 2% to three
inches wide, are nailed across the top oi the rafters or studding every three or four fesjt apart, or more if Eieavy Iron Is used, and the iron
nailed to the battens. The rafters are not necessarily set any particular distance apart, as the iron is supported bv :he battens,
AH sheeting is saved, which amounts to a considerable item, and the whole buildin^^ is braced and stiffened as effectually as if it had
been sheeted with wood.
Another construction is to place the rafters the proper distance apart to suit the width of the iron, and fit cross supports between and flush
with tlie top of the rafters, and the[i apply the iron.
When corrugfated iron is used as siding", without sheeting:, the sheet may be applied with corrugations runiiing- crosswise, direct to the stnddin^^,
sixteen, eighteen or twenty-four Inches apart, or the sheets may be laid \'ertical]y, the studding- hcuv^ placed the proper distance ^ipart, depending-" un

to the corrug"ated sheets on the under side, ;ind then bent around the tran^ework or beams in stich a way as to secure the roofintj. Another
and very much better and quicker way is to use bolts which hold lo the
beams and come through to the outside of the corrugated rootin^^ on the
top of the corrugation, and are fastened there with a nut run down U^ht o^^ a
malleable iron waslier.

after an hour, no periTianent sot was appreciable. The severity of the test was pur-
posely increased by applying- the several ca^ting-s vcrj- roughly, jolting the whole as
much as possible. The suspended area of the sheet was 8-44 sqTiare feet> and since the
actual centre load of j,6oo poinds is equivalent to 3,000 pounds equally distributed,
it amounts to 3,000-1-8.44 = 355 pounds per square foot^ dislribuled. 355 pounds
per square foot is about four times tiie weight of the greatest crowd that

on flat supports, with lower points of

shape o-l the corrug-alions, hwi in
each case no appreciable difference
in the result was observed.

Co one and one-quarter indies bv the
process of arching the sheet : clear

however, only Twenty-tive inches rested against the abulmenis),
** Lach lool of the arch abulted u]>on a casllni;"^ the inner portion of which was
undulated en tO]> to correspond with the corriii^ations of (he arch which rested upon It.
At Y (one-fonrib of the span) iwp wooden blocks were piflcetl, occupying a width of
nine iiu^hes, and extemllntr Hcross the arch ; on them was piled a load of c^stini^s to
the extent of 4*43^ pounds, or two ton5. I^'ndcr this load the *irch descended
about one-half of an inch at Y, hccoTniiii,^ lluttcr aloni;- that side, anti sli}i;-htly more

"The fire fiend was satirically a^^ressive when it licked ihit windows of the fifih floor offices of

or reduced insurance rales from that very hazard. We swallowed the conflagration hazard extra, and
then the conflai^ralion ha;iard nearly swallowed us. It was a costly blaxe^ "but It had lis lessons, some
of ^vhtch are very valuable. Take for instance, the condition o\^ the great helpless Board of Trade
huildiiit^, with its uiiprolecied windows ^apin*^ oLit upon Ihe flames and without a drop ol" water lo
tfuenrh the buniiuir embers that M/;^led on Us sills. What argument for fire-proof shutters and

we would see fire shutters on every endangered window in the business district of the city.*'^

iS Wall SriiKKr,
Dear Sers, — Your enquiry i.s duly received asUiny v\\\ opinion of fire-proof doors
in office buildiing-s.
For some lime pasl l have been profovindly imjiiv.ssed wilh Llie neii:t'ssity of
niaking- fire-proof huilclings biifer ag^ainsl fire by (he use of less wood wtnk, Allhonj^h
the correoiness of Chis principle i-s always adinillod^ yei, in praelioe, eombuslilile finisli-
iog is used, under tlif inipri^ssicn Uial with lire-proof lloors iho burning of ihc finish
is not likoly to cause nuich fire.
RecenUv a sm^ill ?^r\^^ in ihe firo-proof office bii]l(lini>f in which I hav-e tnv oflicesj
developed such intense heat from the coitibusUoit of fMniit^firo and w^\i-,\\ wood finish ^i
winduwa and doors and jambs Ihal it completely Ininiit ma thrive or four rooms ; au^l,
although Iho building' was not in dan_tcfri the fia^ cau^icd a ^rc^it dcd of smoke and
troubl^i and con^equenlly, damag"e ; and furnisfiu'd me wiili a valuable object lesson.
I was confirmed in niy opinion liiaL a fire-]iroof ofbce builjintf ouj:,'"hi to have fire-
proof doors at least, and that all unprotected wood lri[U should bt* ornitled il possible,
in order to make a. buildini^ praelicallv liiv-proof.
For (hese reasons 1 have recommended 10 (he Onondaga County SaviniJ^^ Kank,
ioT their new office building, at Syr-aeuse, N'.\\. tiie fii"e-]ii\iof dtkir and trim sold by
you as being" the most practical and serviceable door I could lind for such pur]so>e>» and
your references from previous cu>ilonier:> are sa t^ood that 1 have no doubt th^t cur
expectations will be fullv reallittfd. On this point I shall he happy lo write yo\i a lotter
when the doors are in use. At present I can only emphasize my opinion ihal hii^h, fire-
proof buildings should be equipped with soniethui^ of vhis nature.
Youis very Irulv.

chain in \\Iiich is
a soft fusible
link which readi-
ly melts when
subjected to the
slitfhtest heat,
on the same
principle as the
sprinkler systems
in such corrinio]!
use. The mo-
ment this fu5=
ible link melts
(which .is nnh' at
150") the sash is instantly released and automatically
closes and locks itself. Thi^ apparatus obviates the
danger of any neglect in omittiny; to close windows, or, as
mi^ht happen in a sudden conflagration, the impossibility
of being- able to do so ; the construction of the window
being such that the automatic action ol closing and locking the window
in the event of fire, is absolutely sure and certain.
Fig:s. 156, 157, 158, 159 and 160, Illustrate different sui,^^g-est!ve
constructions applicable to our fire-proof windows.
Fig. 155-
The construction of the frames and sashes is of hollow sheet metal,
ionned in such a manner as to be perfccilv silff antl rii^id, and as all
parts are interlocked securely, and bolted together (the use of solder
bcinj;^ for the piirpi-se only of rinishinf:^- ihe joints), they will remain
intact when subjected to fire,
This frame is much more firc-prool th;ui ll it were
made from solid iron, where the natural consequence in a
grtat body of metal is the t^reaLer susceplihilil\ lo tlc-
rani^'-enieni by expansion in case of heat, this heiiLi^^ rchitive

They are m^ide to any form of open-

The windows are ^hized with

is embedded through the centre,
so that if the glass does break the

Description.
THi; '' Hayes *' System of Lathin^^, for which we own ail Canadian patents, Is composed of sheets of iron or steel, o\rer the surface of which at
ne;ir intervals are opening-s /'.y x ^ of an inch, produced by a process of puncturing;. The flang-es around the opening's are pressed forward and
curled backward, formin^i^- lip^ and hooks which clinch or hold the mortar to the surface of the sheets, while at the base of each opening is formed
a matrix into which the mortar is pressed, and by which perfect dovetailed clinches or bonds are obtained- The process imparts to the sheets an
undulated surface, giving; additional strentj^th thereto- The mortar or plasterinti: material is spread over the surface of the sheets, embedding- the lips
and hooks and filling- the matrix, thereby permitting; a dei-ree of coalescence which insures most perfect and substantial work, without sagging- or
dvfiection^ and imparting; a most surprising- solidity and Hrmness> that of a stone-like character. Ribs are also introduced at intervals over the surface
of the sheets. The rigidity is not equalled in any other known method of hollow wall or ceifing
construction.
No cracking or falling- away of the surface of -wall or ceiling can occur, neither can It be
removed in any other manner than by the mechanical operation of picking it off by particles.
Fig, 164,
The above illustrates the back of the
apertures (full size) of our lathing, showing
that no sharp edges occur, hut that the
tongues or clinches of mortar rest upon an
easy hearing.
How Supplied,
A'lr^HK lathing is supplied either iji plain black iron or painted on both sides.
_|^ Where lime mortar is used it is not necessary to use the painted lathing, as the
alkali in lime completely neutralizes corrosion, but where plasters are used in which alum,
muriatic or other acids are substituted for lime, then the painted sheets should be used,
Expansion and Contraction.
THERE is an eEilire freedom from expansion or contraction or any organic action which will
disrupt, strain or in any manner injure the bond. A piahi plate of iron when subjected
to great heat will become distorted ; but a perforated or punctured plate is that assumption
of form which cannot in itself be destroyed or affected by fire or water, separately or combined,
no matter how fierce the action ma\' be.
Fire, Water and Vermin=Proof,
IT i.s borne out by practical experience that timber, wbsn encased with this lathing and covered with good mortar, is perfectly safe in fire-proof
construction, and it is utterly impossible for fire to reach the timber so long- as the mortar is held to its surface, and when the apertures are provided
wit]) the projecting features which characterize this lathing-, and become embedded with plastering material, the most obdurate attacks are effectually

resisted. It also equally resists the combinetl and antagonizing elemt^nts^ fire and water, and further demonstrates that no niaUcr how a ccilin^-- or
wall may be delug^ed by water, whether from a leaky roof, burstintf of plpe^^ or in the extinguishing of fire, the coarini,*- of plastering- mnterijil can only
be rennoved mechanically, and will hold firnily to the lathing so tenacioii^ily that little damag-e can arise under any L-nvum^tances. aEid a saving in the
cost of fire insurance is effected.
It IS manifest that rats, n^ice and other vermin cannot gnaw their wa\- ihroujijli a partition or ceiling, neitln?r can the\' be harbored therein.
Covering Pipe Chases.
THIS lathing- i,s extensively used in the healini^ trade for coverini^-- pipe chafes, hot-air Flues, and for pnrpose^ where ^^rc:U \;iriation ol lenineradiro
exists. Steam boilers and steam pipes have been most successfully jacketed, and, when subjected to crillcal examination, holh in a cold and
heated condition, have pro\en under every circumstance to be very satisfactory, thus seltui*^ al rest any question as lo the ori^anic action o(
expansion or contraction.
fi
Supports Required,
FEWER supports are necessary than for any other mortar-holdin-,^ device. This lathing'' makes rii^-id and substantial work when applied Ivi snpporls
up to sixteen-inch centres.
The plastic nature of these lathiuij sheets is such that any forni is readily made (upon which to make a plastered face) from a simple internal
or externa] ang"le to the most complex shapes, including those required in the formation of pilasters, columns, capitals, bases, ■.•'irders. niches, ^--roiiis
cornices, vvainscotings, casings, trimmhigs, etc. Large, hea\y and bold mouldings, co\'es, etc., jiiav he formeLl witluml the u-^ual hracketinj,'" or siipporl.
and oftentimes by inerely bending by hand when iii the act of securing it in its place, and at oin expense other Ihan its plain surface nieasiu'enieiit.
Where extraordinary large coves are required, a most simple support at their back can be provided bv Intercepting the cow.- at the centre of its nerlpher\'
with a lateral bar secured to an iron support at right angles thereto, attached to ihe uall and ceiling diagonalK and placed at certain intervals, tfuis
avoiding the usual wooden supports, which render a building liable to fire b}- ha\'ing so much open and unprotected woodwork arrani^ed in a most
effective manner for igniting and communicating fire.
Another method \vhich is adopted is to reinforce the back of the moulded lathing with bar iron betil to coni'orm to the gejieral outline In the
same manner as exterior metal cornices are held to their shape, and another by formiiig a skeleton framework oC bar iron, lo uhieh the lalhini^-- sheets
are wired.
iL
Lathing Readily Applied.
A workman can, in the same space of time, apply a great deal more of this tbati he can of wood Fathing,
one-half to over two yards each, and ordinary skill only is necessary in applying it.

Ventilating Cornice.
THt venlihuiny: cornice in the banquetln^^ room of the Scottish Rite Hall, corner of 29th Street and Madison Avenue, New York City (the room
is forty feet by seventy feet), is formed as follows; The side walls are composed of a series of piers about four feet wide. Between each
pier a chan^her is formed by a skeleton frame» the vertical face of which receives the cornice. This cornice is run all around the room and
between the pier and at other points where a soflit is presented, instead of beinj,^ plastered it is left open, formings a grating- through which the heated
air and tot:>;icco .smoke pass up into the back of the cove of the cornice, which forms a duct, conveying: it to two large tubes connected with heated
flues^ affording; an escape.
Ventilating Flues.
AT the \"oLniL;- Women^s Lodging' House (V.WX.A.), in i6lh Street, New York (R. H. Robertson, architect), sets of ventilating- flues were
most successfully formed as follows : Commencing each set at the first floor with two flues, and increasing- one flue to each room (provided
wilh a register), to the fifth floor, opening into the space between the ceiling- and the roof, where sufficient provisions were made for carrj-ing-
ofl the vitiated air. The flues formed the partition walls and were in section, thus :

IT iS ot course desirabie that every portion of a building when attacked shall not only resist fire, but shall be equally invulnerable ag-ainst water, and
also the combined effect of both, when one element is used to combat the other. It is also essential to so arrange the structural parts that tliey
will not contribute to the demolition of the building— as, for instance, unprotected iron columns or the iron beams of a floor filled in between them
with arches of brick or tile or other material that will, under the action of the iron when influenced by fire and water, thrust out horizontally, and
otherwise cause the whoL- structure to collapse, and which will also, when charg;ed with excessive weight and thrusting power, settle and cause the
beams to deflect, binding and holding them fast in that cojidition.

spread a layer of concrete, which is received into the punctures and held by the hooks or cMnches in such a manner that, when the concrete is set, a
substantial lintel is acquired, which is even with the bottom of the L-lothcd tlanges of the beam, presenting an even surfaL'c to receive the plastering
coat constituting the ceiling, and deafening with the essential dead-air chambers, which m;iy be made to occupy almost all of the centre space between
the flanges of the beams. The unition of the parts is complete, firm and thoroughly fire-proof.
No fastenings or other means are necessar\' to attach or secure the blocking to the beams, the concrete and plastering material performing
that office thoroughly.
These blockings are made of various^ depths so as to accommodate the various spaces between the beams, or to receive an intermedial e
bearing for the floor or floor supports. Where deep blockings are arranged a large amount ot dead-air space and at the same tinie a very rigid
lintel block is acquired.

Economy by the Use of this Lathing.
HK many advnnlai^'Os this lathiny possesses over wooJ or other lathings, combined with its fire-reslstiny- qualities and consequent saving in
nisur;nice and also savintj In quantity of mortar used, should recommend its use in buildings of the most ordinary character, and it will be found
that, all diint^'s considered, our lathinpr is the cheapest in the end to use. As compared with other metallic lath'in^s it is a conclusion freely
expresst'd by the trade that "it is the best lathing- on the market."
Wood Construction Rendered Fire=Proof.
WOOD us a buildiny material is undoubtedly the most useful of all structural ag-encies, bein- easily shaped and readily applied, and but for the
lack of its fire-resisting qualities would be perfect. This deficiency, however, has been overcome, and buildings may be rendered f5re-proof even
when timber-fnimed.
This latliing is exceedingly well adapted to the protection 01 wood columns, girders, beams, studded partitions, etc., or when the entire
construction is of timber, and u-hich may be made substantially (ire-proof without materially (if at all) increasing the cost of the most ordinary

inadequate so-called fire-proot construction, where unprotected iron forms so conspicuous a part. Better re.sull.s arc attained without the inddcnt.d
and costly outlay of such.
Building^s constructed of tirick and timber, properly protected, are much less liuble to Ltestruction.
The heads of the various lir^^ departments, both in this country and in Hurop^, have often referred to this fact and alvvavs exercise -reat caution

Fire=Proof Floors on Wood Beams and Flooring.
AFIRE-PROOF floor may be made by nailiniJ- the lathiny ;sheets over the boarded surface, and then \\itb \i proper mixture of gravel, yand and
cement, or otlier suitable concrete, a permanent and effective fire-proof floor will be produced, wliich may be arranj^^cd in variegated colors or
ornamental design, or may be laid in tiles of tessellated pavements.
This, in conjunction wirh a furred and cemented base, most efilectu<illy cut^s off fire and pre\'enls its spreading'. By makings halls and stairways
fire-proof in this manner the natural and most accessible escape in case of fire is preserved. This mav be accomplished in old boildiiij^s by covering-
the Avails, floors and ceilings as they are with this lathing and then apply a second plaster coat.
Troughed or Water-Proof Floors^
F
OR bath-rooms, uasb-rooms, laundries, etc-, by covering- the floors as before described, and by turnini,^ up the lathinjj on the walls, a perfect
cemented troughed floor may be made. A g-ood result is obtained in kitchens, hall-ways, closet^;, etc., where the walls up to the yurbase are
subject to much wear or dampness, by coverino; this lathiiiL' with Portland cement, which may be painted and c;ui be easily kept clean.

HERE economy of space in the construction of buildings is now such an important factor, partitions as hereafter shown and described should
pro\-e worthy of the earnest consideration of architects and builders.
Partitions constructed in accordance with the method here presented, thoug-h hut i^q to 2^-2 inches in thickness, and \ery liyht in uei^'-ht,
are thoroughly fire-proof, and can be u^ed to great advantage in many
ways. Dead-air chambers, non-conductors of sound, heat and moisture^
are acquired throu^^hout, also convenient ii^eans for communicating^ g-as
and water pipes and electric wires, or when required the deaLi-:ur
chambers may be converted into live-air chambers. If desired the
chambers may be filled in with concrete, mineral woo!, asbestos or
other fiUinj(»

Metallic Lathing.
An Interesting: Fact.
J
"Architects and plastering- contr;iclors will be iiiteresled in a test which was recenl!>' m.ide by a plasterer in Toronto of the qualities of metal lath. Tho tt-st w;|^ the
outcome oi" the offer by a firm o( mainilaciurers lo supply iiiotal hith at a considerably lower price than thai of a coanpoting lirni. The ]>lasteri'r, who is oiio vi' the most
experienced m^n in his line in the city, undertook to decide for himself which material wou^d in the end prove the cheapest and, all things considered, the best. In the prt-st-nce
of the a^enL of the company offering- the choajiest lath materia!, he had two pails filled with plasterani^ niateri.d made up in exactly the same manner, and with this he proceeded
lo plaster a piece of each kind of lath measuring fori\--ei.£:ht by fifteen inches. The result showed that about sixty per cent, more plaster was required to cover the
cheaper lath than was necessary to cover the more expensive kind, and thai by using- the more expensive kind of material the contractor would effect a savint^ ec)ua], if
not greater than that which it was claimed the use of the cheaper lalh would ^ive him, Thore was an additional advant3K:e due to the fact that il rei^uired much le-ss labor to
apply* The actual amount of plaster u^ed for the pieces, forty-eight by fifteen Inches, was nineteen pounds as compared with thirty=one pounds, "--/^Ac Ctinndian
Architect and Builder^ March^ /6'tjt^.
The ** Hayes" Patent Steel Lathing- is one of the mjikes alluded to In the above test, and needle^iis to reniark is the one referred to as taking
only nii^eteen pounds of phtster, ds compared to thirty-one pounds of the opposiiii^'- make.
We were not even cognizant oF any test being- made until after the contractor had satisfied hiniseSf and tri^'^n U-S the order for the
'' Hayes " hithing.
Another point not brought out in the above parayraph, was that the sheet of *^ Haves'' hitliinij alter phistenny was a coniplete Joh, while the
opposing^ lathing" would have to be all le\'elled ttp over a^ain to make a passable job, in\'olvinff a considerable further outlay for time and material.
Not only this, but the opposing lath required a gre^t matiy more supports, aaid cost considerably more to <ippl>' than the '* Hayes' " lathing",
which can be applied up to sixteen-inch centres and is simply nailed to the joisting or studding with ordinary wire nails.
Mr. John M- Gander, contracting plasiterer of Toronro, is the gentleman who made iho test, and he estimates that outside altog;ether of the
relative merits of the two lathings, that from his own standpoint, as a question of which would be the cheaper for him to use, there was a difference
of at least eight cents a square yard in favor of the ^^ Hayes'' lathing.
Further comment is unnecessarv.

The ceilings are all well painted before sbippintj;-, recei\in^^ a priming coat on both asides of pure Nvhite zinc paint, mixed
with pure linseed oil and turpentine, which protects the metal ; and after they are up in position they may be decorated in an\'
manner to suit the taste. There is practically no limit
to the decoration that may he put on our ^oods, the
embossing and relief affording the decorator unliniited
scope for his abilities : or the paintin^^ ma}' be of the
^^r-^ plainest kind, the lines of Hyht and shade formed by the
relief of the ornamentation in themselves constitute an
effectuskl scheme of decoration.
Some designs of piates have deep, raised edges, and these must
be laid on furring' strips, whether the ceiling is sheeted or not ; the others
may be laid on sheeting" or furring strips, as preferred. In ok! buildings
our ceilings are put up without removing the plaster, being secured to
wood furring strips nailed over the plaster through to the joists.
For arched, pointed or groined ceilings, most of the plates may be
curved to any desired radius to meet the bitu^itton.
Illustrations are photographic reproductions tak*^ii from the goods themselves, so that the}" show them exactly as they are.
If we have a sketch of work to be done, showing exact shape, with accurate measurements and necessary information, we are always glad
to submit a sketch showing what treatment we would propose, together with a bulk figure for SLiHicient material to do the work all complete.
Before ordering or asking for quotations read page 134 carefully- This is very important.

Instructions for Ordering
II' CL SIOMI-.RS will _scnd us a rskelcli ot ilic v\'ork lo be done, showing the cx;icl shape, with accurate measurements mnrked an it, and mention
description of yooJs rei:|uired, we lav tlic work out and ^end a plan, with the invoice, or for approval before sliippinj^ the ^roods, if so desired.
Our plans are c;irelully druwn to scale, ;uid show dislinclly the proper spacint:^ of the furring strip-=;, (where such are used), the location of all of
the dififerenl parls ; ;ind, in cross section, iihislrale tlie method of joining ihe various cornice, border, mouldingjs and plates together, makin^ it
a v^ry simple miilter for ;iny mechanic lo put the work up.
It is ab<5olutely imperative, however, that we have accurate measurements (figured dimensions are preferable to simply scale drawings)
and the fullest possible information reicardinjj the work to be done. If for a ceiling, send a ceiling plan, not a floor plan, and give exact
location of any beams, skylights, chandeliers, stairways, or other offsets or openings, also whether it is intended to apply ceiling to furring
strips or sheetinjc- If a cornice is desired, mention how far it may come down on the walls without interfering with window frames or
other woodvvork, and where there are stairways, elevator openings, etc, make a note whether the cornice can or cannot finish around same.
Sections showing the drop of the different cornice^ are gi^ en opposite the illustrations of same.
For walls, send an elevation of each wall with figured dimensions and showing location of any doors, windows, etc.. and give exact
height from top uf base tu ceiling-
Where there are divided measurements on a ceiling or wall, the total lengths and widths should also be given, and all measurements
shfjuld agree. Where there are any circles, always give exact figured radius.
These arc all very important mailers and a little care and attention lai ordering will save lime and annoyance, and enable us to get results
I hat might nul otherwise he obtainable.
In mcjitionin;: dcslf^ns always designale ihcm by their numbers in Ihe Catalof^^ue,
When required, we fu^nl^h ihoroiiKhly competent workmen lo put up, decorate and complete our work in any part of the counlry, either at so
much per day Miid expenses, or we conlr;ict for the work compkne.
Customers will please bear in mind ihat the work has lo be laid out lo a plan by our drauf^hlsmen after the order Ls received, even before
we can start gelling ihc material ready, therefore all orders should be placed at least one week before shipment is expected.
If suilnhle nails are xiL^tnled, iiientioj^ them oJi the order.
Special designs m^^de lo any detail, prices for which will be quoted on receipt ol specifications ^nving necessary information.

Supports and Furring for Metal Ceilings.
SOMIC of Ihe designs of cellinjj phites require to be Liid on furriny strips, wliclht^r (lie Leiliiij,' Is siK-ficd or not. These plates arc so marked
under tlicir diilLTcnt numbLT?i iti lbi> cEitalo^'iie. With olhirr desiyns» where the ceiling is not already sheeted \tilli wooJ, it will reciuire lo
be fLirred with wood slrip^ one Inch thick, surfaced on one side, so :ls to he all of ;i xiniform thirkness. arid phicoil ihe proper ilislaiiee apart
to suit Ihe design, as shown on blue print sent v\ilh each ceilin|^^
Furrinj^' strips or shcelin^' should alwa\s be Cfirclully levelled lip with small v\oodeii \\edj;cs, ^o as to present a perlectl) level ;irul snu»i>lli
surface on whiL-h lo appl> the metal.
Where ceilings are plastered, the iurrln*^ strips are plaeetl on top of the plaster and TialleJ with thrce-iiieh n;iils throu^jh lo (he joisiii^j;, uiihoiit
disturbing the plaster.
Walls jibouki iilu'ays Hrsl bo wheeled nilli wood, Mirfitccd o\\ one sidv lo an even thickness. Cull lumber is quite suitable, so lonjj a% it in

Directions for Applying Metal Ceilings.
CEILINO PLATES LAID DIAGONALLY.
First Consult Plan Carefullv.
FTRST put up cornice, border and mouIJin[^'"s fwhcre such are used), all around room, overlapping' the len^'lhs from the IIkIiI, to make (he
pattern match perfectly.
Our plans show in cross section ihe method o\ unilin^^ [lie cornice, border ;huI mouldings together, and ihis mtisl be caretullv followed out.
Commence layinj; centre field plalc>» hy first lindin^' the exact centre of ceilini^' and drawiiii^- a line ihrou^'b (hat point len^'ihuise of room,
and another throu^^h the s:ime point, at ri^'ht ant^les to the tirst line. Then put up lirsi plate so lliat :i]i four corners of it will touch these linos.
arid work in all four directions troni thiit point, so that the pattern will finish the same up aj^ainsl ihe rnouldini| on the two sides of room, ;md the
same on the two ends of room.
Our platis ah\ays show in cross section the method of joinin*; the plates to^^'ether. (See also paj^'cs i;>7, 13H and r ^q-) In itiost cases v\iih phites
laid diaf^onally the beads do not overlap each other, but the beads on the two sLjUiired edi^es of each sheet overlap the plain Han^jes :nul bult up
against the beads oei the ai.ljoiniii^ sheets. Metal Ceilln^^ IMatcs should always he laid irom the liglil, that is, the pfate nearest vshere ihe li^'ht
enters the room should overlap the adjolninj^'- sheet. In this way all joints are from the light and arc not noticeable.
Where plates are cut on the job, wc always fi^^ure that all pieces will be worked in. That is, if there i:* it corner comes otT :i plate and there
is sufficient slock in it by trinmiin^-^ it down to work in somewhere else, we figure that this utll be dojie, and onl\ send material accordin;;ly.

CEILING PLATES LAID SQUARE,
First Consult Plan CarefuMy.
COMMEXCE lavin^^ centre field plates at back end of room furlhe^it from the lig^ht, at a point that will allow the border to be the same width
on the two sides o( room, and the sarne width on the two ends of room, as indicated on plan. Lay the courses so that the plate nearest
the li^ht overlaps the adjaininy; one, iis'xn^ the proper joint as shown on plan. In this way all joints are from the light and are not
noticcitble. The nionlUini^- between ihe centre field and the border has to be put up at the same time as the plates, as the flange of it
j^'oes under the cenlre field plates. Some plates :ire made with just two beaded edges, which are squared, and the squared ed*>-es of each sheet
always o\erl:ip the plain ed^^es so that the Lfesio-n will be completed when put togrether. Other desigfns have squared edg-es all around and either
side ma)' be the o\'erlappin*:;; one.
The proper joints o\' all phites are always shown in cross section on our plans, (See also pag-es ^7, 138 and I'^g.)
Afler the centre-field is in position, put on the cornice and mouldings, overlapping the leng-ths from the light to make the pattern match
perfectly. Then fill in the remaininj^- space between the two rows of mouldini,>'s with the border.
WALL DESIGNS.
Commence pultintj on plates at the top of wall next the ceilinijr, runnintj the courses across the space and working downwards. All plates
should be htiJ so that the .side lap joints are from the light. The top edge of the lower course overlaps the bottom edge of the upper course,
unless there is a joint below the line oi vision, in which case the upper sheet would be the overlapping one-

S05, 806, 8og and 8r5 should be nailed in the e^:acc centre of each of the small button finishes, with i>^-inch 14-gauge cone-headed wire nails. This
completes the design. Plates Nos, 405. 406, 407, 408. 409, 410, 411 and 478 should also be nailed with these cone-headed nails in the small
indentations st-impcd in the beiids.
For all other desi_L;ns use i-inch i6-gauge wire nails.
For single flange mouldings use 1^2-inch i6-gauge wire nails.
GENERAL.
Intersections of cormce-^. borders and mouldings should be neatly mitred, where stop blocks or stamped mitres are not used. In mitrin<^ an
embossed design the pattern should always be cut to mitre with the pattern on the adjoining sheet. Care should be taken that all lines are kept
perfectly straight and true, and that all joints are properly made.
Where we lay the work out it is necessary that our plan be strictly adhered to, as any alteration made may necessitate the rearrangement
of the whole des-"-"

METALLIC SKYLIGHTS.
UR SKYLIGHTS iire made from eilher gahiinhcd steel or from copper, so that tlie\' are practicallj- fire-proof, particulHrl\- so when
glazed -vvith wire glass. They are infinitely preferable In every wa^' to either wooden lit^hts, or constructions where solid iron rnfters
are employed. Superior to the former inasmuch i\s there is no contraction or expansion to break ihe *;:liis.s, or make leaks, there
being- only a small amount of metal used in the bar and frame to be acted upon by heat and eold. In cill constructions where
solid iron rafters are employed, where the glass is of necessity confined and held riL;:idlY in place by means of a firm cemenl, the
natural consequence in a ^reat body of metal is the greater susceptibility to derani;ement by expansion in case ol hcut, tln^ heii^g
relative to the actual quantity of metal employed ; while by using a hollow bur of proper form, we arri\e at the resuU of dispensing with the amoiun
of solid matter, and preserving all of the original strength without its weight and liability to derangement.
GLASS
'■■■■■ K<
Fig, 223.
Represents the construction of the hollow bar, as used in our skylights, showing the glass in position with felt and cap complete. As will
be seen, the bar is provided with a gutter running its entire length, which conducts ail condensation on the under side of the glass down until It
reaches the main gutter at the base of the skylight, and running into the latter Is conducted outside on the roof, as illustrated in Fig. 224. This
construction gives the advantage of looseness or play for the glass, without any detriment to the structure.

How Shipped.
OUR slights are all put togfether, (except for large sizes) when the)- are
made, in as large sections as convenient for transportation, ready to bolt
togrether. The -la^s, all c-Jt to the proper size, is securely packed in a
separate box, read)' for gl3.zmg. We use various sizes of bars, and space them
at diflerent intervals, depending- on the size of the opening. Unless otherwise
mentioned, we send three-sixteenth-inch rough-rolled glass. We can also supply
one-quarter-inch rough-rolled plate or wired glass when required.
Pitch of Skylight.
TN Single Pitch Skylights it is aKvays advisable to have not less pitch than
I two inches to the foot.
In Double Pitch or Hipped Skylights, we raise to a pitch equalHn^
one-third of the width of the opening. For instance, a skylight twelve feet
wide, the ridge would be four teet hig-h.

This illustrates our selt'-lockJny- jipparatus, and is a well arraiK'-ed
and effectLia! mode of opening; and closings, at the -,ame time lockin'-'" in
any position, any number of side lights simultaneously.
It consists of a worm G and sextant, cogg-ed movement B, yoked
A to a horizontal shaft J. and arranged with toggle arms F attached
to ihe sashes. The method of operating; Js by means of a shaft the
desired length, to whicli the uorm is attached at one end, a hand wheel
or cranked handle at the other. Where it is not convenient to have
the handle always in position, a portable key the desired length ma\' be
substituted.
Fig. 226
This illustrates another and cheaper mode for opening and closing
sashes.
It consists of a horizontal shaft secured by brackets to the plate
or facia, togg]e arms attached to the shaft and sash, and a wheel, over
which a coi-d secured to the wheel in opposite directions passes. The
wheel IS operated by the cord, which turns the shaft and thereby works
the toggle arms to open or close the sash.

Fig. 227— Complete \'iew of Ventilator. Fig. 228.— Broken \'iew.
Made from g^ajvanizecl steel, or from sheet copper.
AS will be seen from Fig:. 22S these ventilators are constructed with an inside cone tuperiiiLr Lipward-s with a space between it euhI the oiiler
cone. The action of the wind outside creates a vacuum in the flue, necessarily caufiiiit,-- a positive upwiird dralt undor an\' conditions. This
ventilator is constructed on scientific principles, and will exhaust more cubic teec of air per minute th;ta any other storm-proof ventilator made.
Nothing to gret out of order, and no downward draft.
Ventilators may also be made with ^jass tops, glazed either with clear plate or rough roiled i,'lass, 50 as to admit li>,-ht. When so desired to
reg-ulate the draft, a damper may he put in the flue, which can be operated by a cord running; to the floor. Glass tops or dampers are extra.
Bases.
Bases may be made any size or shape desired. Bases are not included, and are not sent unless specially ordered, in which case shape and
si^es must be given.
